CVE-2024-55417
CVE-2024-55417 is a critical file upload vulnerability in DevDojo Voyager, potentially allowing for arbitrary code execution. This flaw permits authenticated users to bypass file type verification when uploading files through the /admin/media/upload interface, enabling the upload of malicious web shells. Despite a low SVRS score of 36, indicating potentially less immediate risk compared to higher-scoring vulnerabilities, the ability to upload web shells is inherently dangerous. A successful exploit could allow attackers to gain complete control of the server. While the CVSS score is 0, the SVRS score provides a more holistic perspective of the real-world risks, including exploitability. Although the SVRS is relatively low in this case, remediation should be scheduled due to the significant impact of successful code execution.
Description
CVE-2024-55417 affects DevDojo Voyager versions up to 1.8.0 and allows an authenticated user to bypass file type verification when uploading files. This vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution on the server if an attacker uploads a malicious web shell disguised as a legitimate file.
While the CVSS score is 0, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 40, indicating a moderate risk. This is further amplified by the "In The Wild" tag, meaning that attackers are actively exploiting this vulnerability.
Key Insights
- Authenticated User Exploitation: This vulnerability requires an authenticated user to exploit it. This means that an attacker needs valid credentials to gain access to the platform and exploit the vulnerability.
- File Upload Mechanism: The vulnerability lies in the file upload functionality of the /admin/media/upload endpoint. An attacker can bypass the file type verification mechanism by uploading a web shell disguised as a legitimate file, leading to arbitrary code execution on the server.
- Potential Impact: Exploiting this vulnerability could grant an attacker full control over the server. This could involve stealing sensitive data, installing malware, or disrupting normal operations.
- Active Exploitation: The "In The Wild" tag indicates that attackers are actively exploiting this vulnerability in real-world scenarios. This necessitates immediate action to mitigate the risk.
Mitigation Strategies
- Upgrade to the latest Version: The most effective way to mitigate this vulnerability is to upgrade DevDojo Voyager to a version that addresses the vulnerability.
- Disable File Upload Functionality: If upgrading is not immediately possible, consider temporarily disabling the file upload functionality in the /admin/media/upload endpoint to prevent attackers from exploiting the vulnerability.
- Implement Strict File Type Validation: Implement robust file type validation mechanisms to prevent attackers from uploading malicious files disguised as legitimate ones.
- Regular Security Audits: Perform regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities within your systems, including file upload functionality.
